My husband is a veterinarian and we had some very sweet clients get into a wreck. We wanted to send them a special card with room for all our staff to leave personal messages. This is what I came up with.

I made the dog using paper piecing. The inspiration was a card found on Pinterest. The link is here: http://mypaperjourney.blogspot.com/2012/02/thinking-of-you-lawnscaping-challenge.html

I layered the oval on top of the cardstock which gave me a edge to run liquid glue against and then lay the bakers twine against. The inside had our message and some space for people to sign, but I also had a white piece of cardstock on the top half for more people to sign. I didn't adhere it until after people had signed so the front of the card didn't get smushed.

About Me

My name is Elsie. I've always enjoyed learning new crafts and techniques. I've done paper crafting for years (scrapbooking, personalized announcements,invitations, and cardmakng,) This led to digital cutting of paper and vinyl. Vinyl allowed me to do chemical etching (think personalized wine glasses) which led to sandblasting. Sandblasting in a cabinet opened up a lot of new areas and much better qualities for projects. This has led me to sign up for a fused glass class to go along with the sandblasting of glass. To "flit" from one craft to another seems to imply not taking any one of them seriously, but I really do. I like to know as much as I can about them. My problem is there are SO MANY cool things to learn I can't help myself.
